   Once again I am begging the void to produce an activitypub fediverse answer to bandcamp.

   Labels, orgs, groups of punks host instances.

   Bands create profiles. Can upload their music, organized by release with lyrics, art, metadata. Numerous download formats available. I don't really care about payment for music, but probably some integration with external payment platform (librepay?) for PWYC downloads goes here.

   Profile is viewable by anyone. So far this is a self-hosted bandcamp clone (that also does not really exist as far as I know).

   You can follow profiles from elsewhere on the fediverse and you'll get posts when the band publishes new songs/releases (with embedded player linking back to the media hosted on instance?) or posts other updates (tour dates! etc). (It should have RSS too)

     @mart0
     Maybe talk to @cwebber or @evan about it? They are some of the minds behind Activitypub.

     I looked into trying to set up an account on a FunkWhale server but they all seem to be closed to new registrations.

     When I'm in a better financial situation I am defo going to setup my own Funkwhale instance, get an idea of how much the running costs are and then try to figure out how to keep it financially stable.

     @benx @mart0 If I get around to setting my own up first, I'll let you know.

     @mart0 Funkwhale bills itself as the fediverse answer to bandcamp. Is there something about its features that you find wanting? I admit I haven't looked into it too heavily myself.
